How Many People Work at NVIDIA? Headcount and Employee Trends

NVIDIA employs roughly 26,500 people worldwide, reflecting steady expansion supported by 2,234 recent hires and limited attrition of under two percent of staff. The company builds GPUs, data-center platforms, and AI solutions for industries ranging from gaming to autonomous vehicles, and its headcount scale underscores the breadth of those initiatives.

Engineering is NVIDIA’s largest discipline with about 17,700 employees—close to two-thirds of the organisation—highlighting its focus on semiconductor design and software development. Information Technology, Business Management, Marketing & Product, and Sales & Support each represent between 4 % and 7 % of total staff, providing commercial and operational balance to the engineering core. Human Resources, Finance & Administration, Operations, and Program & Project Management collectively account for the remaining single-digit share, supporting talent, financial, and execution needs across the business. The distribution shows a technology-heavy structure complemented by specialised business and support teams.

NVIDIA’s workforce is highly distributed, with more than half of employees classified under "Other" locations that span additional offices and remote setups. Among named hubs, the San Francisco Bay Area (San Francisco, Santa Clara, and San Jose) hosts over 5,700 employees, making it the company’s largest regional cluster. India is another significant talent center, with Bengaluru and Pune together employing more than 2,300 people, followed by Israel at roughly 1,350 staff. Austin, Shanghai, and Sunnyvale round out the primary locations, each housing several hundred employees, illustrating NVIDIA’s strategy of maintaining engineering and business operations close to key technology ecosystems around the world.
